Portugal, and Spain
Our plan is to fly to Lisbon, which will take a whole day and night. We will spend the next day in Lisbon before going by bus or train to Porto on our third day. We will spend an extra day there. On the fifth day, we will begin our walk.
Unless we change our minds along the way . . . which we might . . . we will walk north through Portugal and Spain to Santiago, then turn west and walk to Muxia on the Atlantic coast. All in all we have a month to do whatever this adventure presents to us. The map shows our Camino-walking history.

In 2008, we walked about 150 miles in France and Spain on the Chemin de St. Jacques and Camino de Santiago, taking a train from Moissac to St Jean Pied de Port.
In 2009, we walked from Leon to Santiago . . . about 200 miles.
2010 was a "cheese year" not a Camino year. The Summer of a Thousand Cheeses came out and we gave cheese talks all summer.
In 2011, we walked from Pamplona, where we had stopped in 2008, to Molinaseca. We walked almost 300 miles, completing the Camino Frances and duplicating a favorite section.
2012 took us to the alternate route, Via de la Plata. We we walked about 125 miles from Caceres to Zamora.
Last year we volunteered as hospitaleros for two weeks and then walked about 150 miles with Pam and James from Astorga to Santiago.
And now, we will see what 2014 has in store for us.
